    Tucked away by the Salt River with stunning desert views and the Bulldog Cliffs as a backdrop, this ranch consistently delivers memorable rides with well-cared-for horses. Wranglers like Alissa, Lottie, Tori, and Marcel get repeated shoutouts for being genuinely fun, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout rides. First-timers especially appreciate how comfortable the guides make them feel, balancing safety with humor and interesting facts about the area's history and landscape. The office staff earns high marks too. Multiple reviewers mention proactive communication about weather delays and flexible rescheduling, which speaks to the team's professionalism. One negative review described a fall and felt the staff response was cold, though this appears to be an isolated incident among overwhelmingly positive experiences. The horses consistently get praised as gentle and obviously well-maintained, which matters to many visitors. The sunset rides seem particularly popular for special occasions, and the scenery alone makes the trip worthwhile for most guests.

    What an incredible experience! We booked the 1hr sunset ride (mid August) and as first time riders, couldn’t have felt more at ease. The ranch and horses are beautiful, the scenery is stunning and Victoria (who led us on our ride), was absolutely brilliant, especially with our young son. Make this a must-do if you’re ever in the Phoenix area! We can’t wait to return someday — the highlight of our trip to the US.
